5 Simple Nutella Recipes (and one genius hack)!

Mmmm, Nutella! We didn’t really have chocolate spread when I was little, so when I did eventually discover that you could buy gooey, sticky hazlenut-flavoured chocolate in a jar, it was a revelation! Now, of course, chocolate spread is a staple in most cupboards and it’s pretty versatile! We’ll be having it on our pancakes on Shrove Tuesday, but, as well as eating if from the jar with a spoon (or a finger – is that just me?!), you can make all manner of tasty treats with it! Here are five simple Nutella recipes (and one genius hack!)* to try.

4. Dissolve the bicarbonate of soda in the warm water and add to the mix.

5. Add the bananas, chocolate chips and fudge chunks and blend well.

6. Grease a loaf tin and pour the mixture in.

7. Melt the Nutella for around 15 seconds in a microwave until thick but pourable.

8. Pour the Nutella along the centre of the mixture in the tin and use a knife to swirl patterns.

9. Bake at 180 degrees Celsius / Gas Mark 4 for 50 – 60 minutes. Make sure the loaf is cooked in the centre before leaving to cool.

10. If you notice the top of the loaf beginning to catch during baking, pop some foil over the top to protect it from burning further!
